Minor fixes & optimization.
I really loved this game. Beat it over the course of two weeks and almost every level is a great challenge and a fair puzzle. My only major complaint is Level 7-11. One of the biggest strategies is working backwards from the hole, but 7-11’s hole is oriented in such a way that it makes it impossible to figure out where it lies in relation to the other blocks. It is clear in hindsight what the final moves are but prior to that its both a structural and psychological nightmare. I finally solved it by process of elimination but there is no joy in exhaustive search of the solution space; making it clearer where the hole is in relation to the rest of the level would solve the problem entirely. Thanks for such a great game regardless. Definitely worth the cost of admission.
Highly enjoyed the game! 2-3 puzzles really had me thinking. I sat down for about 30 minuets and played through the levels. At the end of the game I was really surprised it was over. Way way way to short for other games I spent $3. I thought for sure I was missing something. There was not enough challenge for the price paid. However I still rate the game 5 stars because I loved every second of playing. I just wish there was more to it. If you have 30 minuets to spare and don’t mind spending the $3 go for it! I often think of entertainment as the price of a movie ticket. $10/2.5hrs. In this sense if you go to the movies it’s the same amount spent for the entertainment time.
Thank you Afterburn! I absolutely loved this game! Challenging without being too difficult and relaxing while being thoroughly enthralling. If you’ve played Square Enix Montreal’s “Go” series (Hitman, Laura Croft, Deus Ex) and enjoyed those then I think Golf Peaks is right up your ally. This is exactly the kind of puzzle game I truly adore. Everything from the UI to the art, music, sound, and mechanics truly are a perfect fit. I have nothing negative to say about this game. I hope the devs plan to release more levels. I will gladly purchase any expansion level packs. Either way, thank you Afterburn. I really enjoyed your game. 😇
This game is okay — I thought it would be a physics puzzler, but it’s more of a math / logic game. I feel like there may have been some desire at some point to make this game more than what it is, but ultimately the developer chose to release something that, while not revolutionary or super amazing, is good, works, and is decent enough fun. I’d give it 4 stars for the game and an extra star for not having any micro transactions! Thank you!
Awesome concept. Well done. Nothing like it and totally original. Only downfall is that there are only about 85 puzzles. Most of them are pretty easy. The game is over way too quick and then there is nothing left to do except delete the app. This is why most puzzle games have level editors, where people can upload their own levels for unlimited fun. Please do this, because if it’s not done, this game will be a forgotten memory (good memories) for most people after they complete the short journey.
I completed Golf Peaks in just a couple of days and I have to say that was very fun and challenging. And it surprised me when I was on the last level. Must it end so soon? I really hope the devs make more levels because I think 10 worlds would be a good stopping point. But until then I’ll be dreaming of those 12 brand new levels. 😊
I absolutely love this game. It combines my love for puzzles with a very fun golf theme. My only complaint is that I beat the game in a day. Hopefully they come out with more levels sooner rather than later. Edit: I was alerted by the developers that more new levels are being designed and will be free to those of us who have already purchased the game!
Playing Golf Peaks is pure fun! Finding that correct sequence of rolls and jumps is sometimes pretty straight forward, but other times it’s “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again”. Great brain stimulation and good exercise in patience, concentration, and human perseverance in overcoming obstacles. Ok, enough of my mumbo-jumbo...it’s simply a fantastically enjoyable game! Buy it...you’ll be happy you did!
Golf Peaks, Lukasz Spierewka's ingenious blend of puzzler and golf game, is set to receive a huge new update that includes 12 extremely challenging levels.
